Eastman Opera Theatre Presents: Die Fledermaus
Closing the season in the gorgeous Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, EOT’s lively take on Die Fledermaus brings the charm, wit, and champagne-fueled shenanigans of this timeless operetta into the spotlight. “This Die Fledermaus spins beneath the glitter ball of Studio 54, where Strauss meets sequins, and mistaken identity dances to a disco beat,” exclaims director Octavio Cardenas. “In a world of excess, glamour, and liberation, the masks are bolder, the lies shinier, and the hangover just as delicious.” From mistaken identities and elaborate disguises to revenge schemes and late-night revelry, this joyful tale of Vienna’s elite is not to be missed.
Music by Johann Strauss II; Libretto by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée
Directed by Octavio Cardenas; Conducted by Timothy Long
Sung in German with English dialogue and full orchestra
